E FUND IDLE
State Warden Barred From
Using $30,352.82 on Hand
for Hatcheries.
STEVENSON'S REPORT IN
I'ailure of Last Legislature to Pass
Specific Act Authorizing Ex
penditure of License Tax
Blocks Improvement.
r allure of the Oregon . Legislature
last Winter to authorize specifically
the expenditure of the funds received
from hunting and fishing licenses for
Hie erection of one or more hatcheries
Is responsible for the accumulation of
over $30,000 in the "game protection
fund" of the state. This condition is
pointed out by R. O. Stevenson. State
;me and Forestry Warden, who has
Just completed his report for the year
ending December 1 last. It was the in
tention of Mr. Stevenson to proceed
with the erection of a trout hatchery
nd a pheasant Incubator with the
funds at his disposal, but, upon appeal
ing to Attorney-General Crawford for
nn opinion, he was advised to retain
the fund until the Legislature provides
by enactment a specific plan for spend
ing the money, which, according to
tbe Attorney-Ueneral. will then be Im- j
mediately available.
Many Xlmrods Licensed.
The report of Mr. Stevenson shows
that the receipts from Ashing and
hunting licenses In the state for the
year were J43.031.68. which, with a bal
ance on hand last December of 97998.96,
made a total of $51,939.54. The ex
penses of the deputies during the year
aggregated $20,677.72. leaving a bal
ance on hand of $30,352.82. Referring to
this fund, the report says:
L-rf-st It should seem to appear that the
loneys available for game protection
ve not been properly expended, bv rea-
n of the large amount on hand, I de-
e to say that It had been, until re
itly, my purpose to proceed to erect
a or more trout hatcheries, under the
visions of section 53 of the game laws
1909. This section provides, among
ler things, that the moneys received
m the snle of hunters' and anglers'
nses shall be used for the 'protection
. propagation of game and game fish.
Specific Ji&w Violated.
1 found throughout the state a gen
1 demand for the erection of one or
re trout hatcheries and was prcpar
to undertake plana looking to the
cutlon of what appeared to be the in
t and spirit of the law in this regard
en a question was raised respecting
authority to erect hatcheries by rea
i of the absence of any specific pro
Ion of the statute authorizing their
action."
After referring to the opinion of the
ttorney-Oeneral. the report concludes
as follows:
"This department has been unable to
arry out the evident Intent of the Leg
islature but as soon as tho specific au
thority has been conferred, a number of
hatcheries can be erected and at such
timn the fund available therefor will be
sufficient to permit of their erection with
out the necessity of an appropriation
either for their construction or main
tenance. Xcw I.uws Satisfactory.
"In conclusion T beg to say that the
greater part of the time embraced in
tills report is covered by the admin
istration of this office under the code
of game laws enacted at the last ses
sion of the Legislature. The operation
of the new laws has been generally
xatisfactory from the viewpoint of the
game department. It is an omen of
good cheer that public regard for game
Ihw enforcement is on the uplift and
that violation of these laws is not
nearly so general as formerly and has
not been so flagrant as oftentimes re
ported. "The Increased revenue for use in
game protection has enabled this office
to conduct a much mora active and ef
fective prosecution for violations than
heretofore and the success which has
intended the administration of the of
flee by reason thereof is attested by
the fact that the number of convic
tions is much larger than in former
years."
Klues Amount to $5668.
The report shows that during the
12 months there were a total of 199
arrests for various violations of the
game laws. of that number only 2fi
were acquitted or dismissed, the total
of fines Imposed being $r66S. ' The pf
'fenses ranged from hunting without a
license to dumping sawdust in a
stream. Tho principal charge covered
in tho lartre number of arrests was
hunting and killing deer with dogs
Among the large variety of complain Is
HiieeesKfully prosecuted were the fol
lowing: Trapptnsr beave.r. illegal Ash
ing, having untagged deer hides, sell
ing trout, killing grouse, yanking trout,
eatehing trout less than six inches long,
shooting fish, killing ducks. selling
ducks, catchins salmon with grab hook,
killing Chinese pheasants 'and killing
female deer. The fines ranged from.
$?S to $100.
Mr. Stevenson s report shows a small
Ualanee in the appropriation for his
.lepartment for the year. The Game
Warden is allowed a salary of $1200
:cr annum and an expense allowance
f $S00. with a further allowance of

balance of $222.85.
REEDER'S PLAN IS NAUGHT
vstcrn Aini-lri iationit Xot to
Control Fate of Bill?.
O R KG ONI A N XEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Dec. 23. Representative Reed
t. of Kansas. "Irrigation Bill," they
I'ali hint at home, is one of the few
Western men in Congress opposed to
a bond Issue or some other form of
legislation proposing- to raise additional
money to construct Government irriga
tion projects. Reeder is bitterly op
posed to any such scheme as has been
recommended by President Taft. Secre
tary Balliner and a score of promi
nent Western men in Senate and House,
feeder Is chairman of the House com
mittee on irrigation.
Bill' Reeder has been giving" con
siderable thought to this question since
ha landed in Washington, and the more
he has thought the more determined
he has become that there shall be no
uca legislation. In the solitude of his
lommlttee-room, Reeder framed up a
;herae whereby, single-handed, if need
GAM
be, but with the aid of his committee
more likely, ho would kill off the bond
bill and every other bill proposing to
raise money for this purpose, be it by
bonds, certificates, warrants or what
not.
It was a nice little scheme, and In
asmuch as Speaker Cannon packed the
irrigation committee with Eastern
members, no doubt it would work, but
Reeder will not have a chance, for
the Speaker has decided that any legis
lation of this character shall be re
ferred to the committee on ways and
means, on the theory- that it is legis
lation for raisins revenue. In the ways
and means committee the Speaker can
fret exactly what action he desires.
There is no opportunity for a slip-up
with Sereno E. Payne and John Dalzell
on guard. And thus It happens that
all Reeder's deep-laid plans have gone
for naught.
NEWSBOYS FIND FRIENDS
PHILANTHROPIC PORTLAXDEKS
FORM GENERAL CLUB.
Athletic Training and fellowship
Will Be Provided For Lads Who
Sell Papers on Street.
During the past week, the newsboys of
Portland have organized themselves, with
the help of three or four prominent citi
zens, into the "Portland Newsboys' Asso
ciation." This is an entirely new organi-
Paul Schneider, Newly Elected Presi
dent of Portland Newsboys' As
sociation. zation, and has no relation to similar
associations that have existed in the
past.
Credit for the successful start of the
new club should be given Paul Schneider,
one of the leaders among- the boys, who
Interested several Portland-men, and with
them succeeded in getting the use of the
People's Institute, at Fourth end Burn- j
side streets, for headquarters, and Inter- ;
estod the boys and persuaded them to j
turn out for the meetings.
During? the past week i mass meeting
of most of the newsboys in- the city was
held at the People's Institute, and with
Mrs. W. H. Chapin presidiiiK. officers
wore elected as follows: President, Paul
Schneider; xice-president, Mrs. Y. H.
Chapin; secretary, IX K. Keasy; treas
urer, Ralph Hoyt; sergeants-at-arms, M.
Schwarta and M. Newman. Tlie follow
ing executive committee was also elected:
j M. Rosencrantz, John Bowman, L. Gold-
sione, a. t,ohen, iJ. t'oisky.
There are about 200 members in the
association. The dues will be B cents a
week, and any member who does not pay
the dues will be promptly ousted. It is
not thought that any of the boys,, will
fail to live up to requirements, for they
are all Interested and are taking hold of
the proposition with gTeat enjthusiasm.
In their headquarters at the People's
Institute, the boys will have a gymna
sium, reading-room, and other conven
iences, to be added to from time to time.
I The philanthropic officers of the assocla
! tion will furnish funds for equipment and
I uniforms for the boys. Ba.dfires haye al-
ready been obtained and the uniforms
will be on hand soon.
Oymnasium classes have been organ
ized, and Professor Robert Krohn has
offered to take charge of this work. He
has divided the boys into squads of 12,
and will instruct them e-ery week in
drills 'and various gymnastic stunts.
Basketball, baseball, wrestling, boxing
and track teams will be organized. Mr.
Krohn is nlso preparing to train the boys
for a public exhibition to be given some
time in the next few months. He finds
his charges axe very willing pupils.
Yesterday afternoon the boys were
treated to a Christmas dinner by Seneca
Pouts, o-t the Peerless Cafeteria. About
375 boys were present and they had the
time of their lives.

FEMININE CHARMS COSTLY
Young French. Bank Clerk Steals for
Women, Is Found Out.
PARIS, Dec. 25. (Special.) There
has Just been arrested a young man
named EmJIe Piquet, who, desirous of
emulating the exploits of Gallay, "the
bank clerk Baron," made free use of
the contents of the safe entrusted to
his care. He also was a bank clerk,
employed In an establishment In the
Rue Lafayette. Ha fell in love with a
young woman whose tastes were so ex
pensive it was Impossible to gratify
them with his modest salary. In order
to make his conquest complete, he ne
gotiated bonds deposited in the bank
and with the money loaded his fair
charmer with jewels.
He became a speculator on the
Bourse, gambled at the Casino at Eng
heim and attended race meetings. His
lavish prodigality attracted the atten
tion of a dazzling denizen of the "half
world." He considered her more beau
tiful than his first flame, and more ex
acting in her demands. Thepleasure
of pleasing her cost him several thou
sand dollars in. three days. Like Gal
lay, his career, though merry, was cut
short by a discovery at the bank. It
led to the bank lodging a complaint,
which was followed by the arrest of
Piquet. He is now in the Sante prison,
meditating on the costliness, not to
speak of the danger, of certain femi
nine charms.
